Lmao just saw this in the pol sub, and I’ll say the exact same thing i said there: you have to provide literally exactly the same information as when you donate with cash so this is a non-issue in regards to dodgy donos

I’ll say this.
Crypto can be moved globally, instantly, and without using a bank
It’s harder to trace than a bank account or PayPal, but not impossible.
Monero, Zcash, and other privacy coins are more anonymous, and those are what criminals prefer when they want to cover their tracks better.

We need greater transparency in political donations, not less

Worth remembering that you are technically realising the value of an asset when you donate crypto though.
So if you have been holding for a while you have to pay tax on the increase in value even though you are giving it away.

So that’s how the Russians and the American hard-right are going to fund Reform’s next election campaign.

Can we please stop giving airtime to Nigel ‘Russia Today’ Farage.
Important_Ruin on
All above board obviously.
Can we turn up the heat on him please? If Labour or Tories did this there would be far more criticism from media, absolutely raging uproar if Labour from the usual rags.
Reform say they do this, printed in press nobody gives an once of scrutiny to it in media and he gets away with it.

Awesome, the ledgers are public. So in sure some bright spark will develop a tool to track this bellends money donations and who owns the wallets it’s coming from.
He thinks this will allow him anonymous donations from foreign entities? He has no idea what crypto actually is…

I fully expect one “Tonald Drump” to make an obscene donation.

Predicting Reform’s next moves doesn’t even need any brain power, just check off a list of Trump’s administration’d first six months and you’ll find everything you need

I’m sure this absolutely won’t be used to obscure their connections with Russia ect.
